NOISE
Livestreamed dance performance using Extended Reality and Augmented Reality using Notch and Touch Designer.
Henrique Ghersi: Multimedia Designer (Video & Lighting)
Location: London, U.K.
"Through melding the AR tech and soundtrack together with the performers’ insights (many of whom are d/Deaf themselves), the show pushes the boundaries of what ‘noise’ is. The power of this approach is shocking. Given more time to polish and compound these pieces, Noise could be seismic.
Really, the whole event can be seen as a proof-of-concept: proof that blurring between dance and technology has captivating consequences; proof that art can be both thematically successful and innately inclusive; proof that the concept of ‘noise’ is far vaster than a viewer may initially imagine. Above all else, Noise is a striking and overwhelming first step – be on the look out for the next one."

“It was an immersive experience, where I had to connect with all my senses. I observed very deep human interactions and connections in an instinctive way, but also in an abstract form.” Audience member at the sharing at Studio Wayne McGregor, March 2020
